Paul Irwin Forster (born 1961) is an Australian botanist. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Queensland in 2004 with his thesis The pursuit of plants : studies on the systematics, ecology and chemistry of the vascular flora of Australia and related regions.

He has worked at the Queensland Herbarium since 1991 as a plant taxonomist and has been editor of Austrobaileya since 2005. His research interests are the systematics[2] of vascular plants and reproductive and conservation biology of cycads.[3][4][5]

He has also published extensively on plant-insect interactions ( See, e.g.,[6][7][8][9]) and on the family Apocynaceae.[10][11][12][13]
